I have been meaning to post these pictures. It was after the second Turkish toilet during my France stay that I decided I needed to document the toilets of France.
Rouen.
The toilet in the sewer museum in Paris really should have been part of an exhibit.
It is within the last year, I believe, that the public toilets in Paris have been made free of charge.
At the sculpture workshop in Jumiège, housed in a nineteenth-century stone barn
A shopping center in downtown Rouen. Cost: 50 centimes.
The bathroom of my host family (Rouen). I always found it disconcerting that there were large holes in the door.
Cherbourg, near the sea.
At the Caen train station. This whole room was tiled, and jets of water would come out of the walls and wash the entire floor. 30 centimes.
SNCF train, somewhere between Cherbourg and Caen.
Bayeux. I have never seen fancier.
Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris.

I do hope you sent this to Grammy. She would very much appreciate it.
Is it strange that I can't look at an odd toilet without thinking of my grandmother?
Very educational post. It made Kevin nostalgic for France...
P.S. Perhaps Erin would progress faster with potty training if she had more variety in the type of toilet she could use.
Best blog post on the face of the planet. Ever. Hands down.
